Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao vs. Amir Khan is NOT Official, Says Bob Arum

[NC Uppercut]

I agree with this, except the part about Arum not wanting to work with Haymon. I think Arum just doesn't like to be one upped or have his decisions vetoed by his fighters.

I suspect if the UAE money is legit, 38 million, that Arum signs off on it. So much of that UAE stuff seems sketchy to me doe cuz so few fights pop off there or promoters are worried about ********* sh_t or the clash of cultures since stoning and flogging are still legal punishments there. Last thing Arum wants is for Manny to f#ck some UAE ****** with an important father and Manny has to get flogged and Arum gots to buy Manny out of worse punishment with 1,500 goats.

Hey maybe if the fight doesn't happen then they will stone Robert lol

It's simple... Pac/Koncz went off and did their own negotiating because Arum wasn't willing to pay him his guarantee (20 million/per fight) his next fight.

It's most likely written in his contract.

Instead of accepting Bob's offer of 5 million... they went out looking for the best $$$ fight available.

While Bob had plans of touring Manny around the world fighting Australians, Russians, and other Euros for lesser amounts.

Pac and Koncz don't seem to agree with that vision at least for now.

i agree 100%! Pac is in his twilight and has finally said he's done doing Bobs agenda and will do his own thing.

This is like the hooker running away from the pimp and is now a fugitive. The pimp (Arum) is on the hunt. Manny for the first time ever has made a move against the wishes of Arum and this old man cant deal with that.

"Huhh.. Its up to my promotah.. Bob Arrum" those days are over. Manny wants to be like TBE and call the shots in his own career. About time.

Basically this.

Yea I wonder what happened to all that Top Rank and Haymon "working together" nonsense. It's been almost a year since they settled that lawsuit & I can't recall any fights they've done or even thought of doing since then.

Khan/Algieri if I do recall was a collab fight.

Manny Pacquiao should have left Bob Arum years ago Mayweather tried to tell him. Bob was the real delay in the Pac-May fight getting delayed. Now he's trying to get Manny to fight a guy in Jeff Hornacek who nobody has heard of over Amir Khan who brings more money for Pac.

[JASON SHAW]

That won't work. Announcing this fight shows that this is what fans want moreso than the Horn fight. If the Horn fight still happens, people will see how full of crap Arum is and how pathetic fights are almost being forced. It would be inexcusable at this point...

ARUM HAS MADE MANNY VS ALGIERI AND RIOS ON PPV SO THIS ISNT TOO FAT FETCHED IF IT ENDS UP BEING HORN!

Poochiao will be fighting former wide receiver Joe Horn from the New Orleans Saints....both Poochiao and Bob want the fight.

Scum arum snubbed by Team pacquiao lmao

[Bronx23]

Basically this.



Khan/Algieri if I do recall was a collab fight.

That was before the lawsuit was settled and I think algeri was already a Haymon fighter I don't think he was ever with top Rank to begin with
